Seems like someone is paying a little homage to the $5 Philanthropist ;) Nice to see others advocating what GiveMeaning has believed and been practicing for two years now. Dollar philanthropy?

I think there is a very important distinction between philanthropic strategy and tactics. You can read my post on the subject from last November <a href="http://www.tacticalphilanthropy.com/2006/11/strategy_vs_tac.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I think what you are doing with philanthropy and travel is very interesting. I do not think it can be seen as an "alternative" to funding nonprofits with monetary grants, but I think that helping people integrate philanthropy into their "lifestyle" is very important. Philanthropy is fun and your service looks like it can help people grasp that. David, thanks for stopping by. I think there is a very important distinction between philanthropic strategy and tactics.

You can read about the current exchange at http://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2007/01/im-part-of-non-profit-blog-exchange-5.html I host a tutor/mentor conference in Chicago every May and November and would like to find funders who give to youth organizations, turoring and/or mentoring, who'd do a blog exchange during that period, connecting with each other, and/or with youth organizations who seek their funding. Would you be interested in helping to organize this? I’ve been part of a Non-profit blog exchange several times over the past two years.

Do you think philanthropic travel could be a meaningful alternative to checkbook charity?

Do you think building bridges of understanding and heart to heart personal relationships could strengthen the prospects for peace in the future?
